Summary

"Chakrabarti and Dhar creatively and originally combine Marx, Freud, and post-colonialism by rethinking (advancing) each through the lens of the other. They extend and transform earlier such efforts achieving important new insights in and for the now global Marxian tradition." ---Richard D. Wolff, Professor Emeritus of Economics, University of Massachusetts, Amherst; Co-founder, Democracy at work This book brings together Marxian philosophy and Lacanian psychoanalysis to argue that the hegemonic form of global capital is founded on the foreclosure of class and world of the third. The authors counterpose the world of the third to the mainstream notion of the third world, seen as a lacking other in desperate need of aid and development. Thus, for them, the hegemonic form of global capital is engendered through the foregrounding of the poor, victim third world and the foreclosure of the non-capitalist world of the third. Building on what they characterize as an ab-original reading of Marxian historical materialism and the Lacanian real, the authors seek to conceptualize a counter-hegemonic revolutionary subject as a basis for postcapitalist alternatives to the hegemonic form of global capital. Anjan Chakrabarti is Professor of Economics at the University of Calcutta, India. Anup Dhar is former Professor of Philosophy at Dr. B. R. Ambedkar University, India.--, Provided by publisher
